Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's historic SCOTUS hearing

Today Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee for day one of her confirmation hearings. The 51-year old judge has been nominated to fill the spot left vacant by retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. If confirmed - which seems very likely - Jackson would be the first Black woman nominated to The Supreme Court. Plus, Russia and Ukraine reach a dangerous stalemate. And, how the White House is tackling rising gas prices. Guests: The Washington Post's Robert Barnes, Axios' Sophia Cai and Dave Lawler.
